Stefan Lorant
Stefan (Istvan) Lorant (February 22, 1901 in Budapest, Hungary - November 14, 1997 in Rochester, Minnesota) was a pioneering Hungarian-American filmmaker, photojournalist, and author.
==Early work==
After completing high school in his native Hungary in 1919, Lorant moved to Germany, where he made his mark in films and photojournalism. His first film, ''The Life of Mozart'', established him as a filmmaker, and he went on to make 14 films in Vienna and Berlin, some of which he wrote, directed, and photographed. He claimed to have given Marlene Dietrich her first film test, and though he rejected her for the part, they remained lifelong friends. Lorant's abilities in writing and still photography led to the editorship of the ''Münchner Illustrierte Presse'', one of Germany's finest picture magazines.
Opposed to Adolf Hitler, Lorant was imprisoned〔then euphemistically called "Schutzhaft"〕 13 March 1933, six weeks after Hitler came to power. Released 25 September 1933, he made his way to England (via Paris), where he published ''I Was Hitler's Prisoner'', a memoir that sold out many printings. He edited the ''Weekly Illustrated'', a popular British picture magazine, then founded Lilliput, made famous by his clever picture juxtapositions, as in Neville Chamberlain versus the llama. On October 1, 1938, Lorant co-founded with publisher Sir Edward G. Hulton the first great British picture magazine, ''Picture Post''. During this time, Lorant published a ''Picture Post Special'' about the United States.
Failing to obtain British citizenship, Lorant moved to Lenox, Massachusetts in July 1940, where he lived the remainder of his life. Tom Hopkinson succeeded Lorant as editor of ''Picture Post''.
